Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
While working in Project Controls i have gained experience in different functions within the business unit. The areas i have worked in include risk management, planning, reporting and change management. My day-to-day role involves a lot of communication with the project team who provide me with data which i use to ensure the team is on track and performing well. The data also is a good indicator to show potential issues that might have an impact on the project.
